About FanCraze
FanCraze is an ICC-licensed digital cricket collectibles platform whose core assets are officially certified match video moments, such as sixes, wickets, and catches. Collectibles are divided into rarity tiers including Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary, and can be purchased, traded, and used in gameplay such as Pro Match Challenges. Its business includes pack drops, a secondary marketplace, auctions, upgrades, SBCs, and Burn & Earn (destroying old cards for Gold Essence), as well as FC Grails, a claw-machine-style card pull experience with themed Box collection.
Its core competitiveness lies in holding the only official ICC license; collectibles serve both as assets and as game pieces in matches and leaderboards; and users can list items at their own prices or sell them back instantly at market value, reducing the common problems in digital collectibles such as lack of official backing, opaque pricing, and illiquidity.
Over the past six months, the platform launched Super Charger Packs around the Indian T20 League, weekly Pro Leaderboards (ranked purely by Game Points, with top 5 or top 10 winning rewards), Edition Upgrade Drops (upgrading to 2026 Edition while retaining serial numbers), Swap Auctions, and continuously active Burn & Earn. Nets Mode was updated in mid-April. FC Grails launched in late May, debuted on OpenSea and the Coinbase App, introduced a themed Box-based collection mechanism, and added a path to convert eligible Matchday collectibles into FC Grails assets by burning.
As the official NFT ecosystem partner of the ICC, FanCraze's journey includes several milestones with long-term significance.
In early 2022, FanCraze secured exclusive ICC licensing to launch Crictos, transforming iconic moments from the 2015 and 2019 ICC Men's Cricket World Cups into on-chain digital collectibles, pioneering the digitalization of cricket.
Subsequently, FanCraze completed a $100 million Series A funding round led by Insight Partners, with participation from B Capital, Tiger Global, and others, becoming one of Asia's largest Series A rounds and laying the financial foundation for future growth.
In 2024, FanCraze renewed its multi-year partnership with the ICC to launch ICC Crictos SuperTeam, a Web3 fantasy game that deeply integrates NFT collecting with strategic gameplay, marking a significant evolution from static collecting to interactive experiences.
These milestones collectively outline FanCraze's trajectory from an NFT collectibles platform to a comprehensive Web3 cricket ecosystem.
Over the past six months (2026-03-07 to 2026-09-07), FanCraze, the official ICC NFT ecosystem, has made significant strategic strides. Key developments include the launch of FC Grails, a new collectible tier system that allows users to burn existing Matchday assets to mint exclusive Grails, enhancing long-term value and utility. The platform also unified its currency model, introducing Cash and Gold Essence to streamline transactions and rewards, with clear compliance for Indian users. During the Indian T20 League, FanCraze introduced Pro mode, featuring Super Charger Packs (limited supply with buybacks), Pro Leaderboards rewarding top teams, Edition Upgrade Drops for retaining serial numbers, and Swap Auctions for Epic collectibles. Additionally, the platform expanded its Web3 presence through partnerships with major ecosystems and enhanced its marketplace with pack insights and trading history. Future roadmap focuses on deepening gamification, expanding global reach, and building a sustainable token economy around cricket collectibles.
